Fifty members absent at roll call Fetitiona were presented for liquor prohibition ; for liquor license ; against building railroads .... One propo sition was presented asserting the power of taxation is limited by necessity and public use ; therefore . no tax or assessment shall ever be levied except for public use, nor beyond the necessity of such use ... . The Convention then proceeded to the consideration of Proposition No. 144, relating to the Executive Department, being the substitute for Article III of the Constitution.

The Dispatch ought to demand another contest, and hire a man who can do as good a job of swearing as the Sunday News man. Go in, gentle. The Cincinnati Gazette complains bitterly that all the wicked people take the Commercial. None but the truly good take the Gazette, and that brings its subscription list down to a fine apex. The heathen of the Commercial don't seem to care how many wicked people take that paper. It must pain the pious heart of the good man of the Gazette to observe how many wicked people there are this year, and how few of the good. We are plunged in a gulf of dark despair by the discovery that the Ohio State Journal (which may be set down as Middle Left and Kight Center) has a larger circulation in email towns a hundred miles away than the Gazette has in Columbus. This, after all our labors on behalf of the Gazette and its editor, is extremely discoursing, i ' -; There is an amusing story of a gentleman trying to write a personal letter to a friend, under the annoyance of having a man read it over his shoulder. Finally ha wrote "I would say more, but there is an Impertinent fellow looking over my shoulder, reading every word I write." "It is lie, sir. I haven't seen a word 1" retorted that person, furiously. We are reminded of this little story by a thing that happened to the Commercial. It stated that a certain local politician "read the Commercial, but did not take it," and up jumps this innocent party with the as sertion that "he takes it, bat does not read it" which is plain aa the nose on one's face. The gentlemen might have claimed for himself that he is at least one thing the Commercial is never likely to be underita present management and that is, "Little Bed." Leave ! Ream.

BRITISH BLEMISHES. One of the proudest boasts of an En glishman is that he is a Briton. Thia is perhaps well enough, but England is oc casionally responsible for acts committed by men in authority which turn the proud boast into a blazon of shame. We need not go back to the blowing of Sepoys from the mouths of British cannon an act which for barbarity and savngery is without an equal, and which left a stain that will not fade so long as history endures,..,! Another blemish has recently tainted the British name, and this reproach, like that of the Sepoy savagery, is brought up on it by the constituted authorities. To add to the enormity of the reproach, the authorities In 'question are two clergymen of the Church of England, acting as magistrates, and the victims pi their cruelty are women, During the existence of a strike of farm laborers employed on the farm of Mr. Hambridge of Ascot, two non-Union men were engaged to take the places of two of the disaffected. This aroused the wives and daughters of the striking men, and they gathered together to the number of sixteen, and taking a position near a gate, through which the two men were compell ed to pass in entering the field of Mr. Hambridge, they jeered at the men and used insulting language, but oBered no physical violence. The Times says : "Not blow was struck, and, though very abusive and . threatening' language,' rWns used, the. fright; and perfl which few girls and middle-aged women had occas ioned to the two. stalwart laborers could not have been very serious, seeing that, according to the evidence of the. men themselves, the women actually offered to escort them back to the village and give them 'a drink,' and that, while declining the protection and hospitality of the Amazons who had so terrilied, them, they walked to Mr. Hanibridge's homestead unguarded and unhurt, and subsequently went to -work on the farm under the pow erful protection of one police constable." The proceedings of these women were unquestionably wrong, but the means resorted to as a punishment were a much greater wrong. The women and girls were at once arrested and taken before .' the Chipping Norton Bench of magistrates, consisting of Rev. Thomas Harris and Rev. W. E D. Carter, and after ' a hearing and "a lengthy consultation" the reverend magistrates' ordered seven of the demonstrative women to be imprisoned for ten days, and the remaining nine to be imprisoned for seven d tys, with the addition of hard labor in every case. Two of the women bad infants at the breast while being conveyed on iheir journey to prison. , ;- It ib not a subject of wonder that this action caused considerable excitement. Thu infants of the female prisoners were ostentatiously fed on the village green, in presence of the whole population, and at night rioters assembled in considerable force and made an onslaught on the prison. The windows and the doors were broken, and some of the tiles were stripped from the roof. The attack was repelled, but the Superintendent thought it advisable to telegraph for assistance to Oxford, nineteen miles distant from Chipping Norton. The Times says : "On receipt of his telegram, Inspector i Yates, with a force of police, started In a drag and four, and at Woodstock took np Su perintendent Bowen. . So riotous was the aspect of Chipping Norton that it wan not deemed safe to keep the women there till the time at which the first train leaves; and in the small hours they Were driven in the break the whole distance to Ox ford, where, at about 6 o'clock they were locked up in the County Gaol. ' Two of the unfortunate prisoners had their in fants at the breast while being conveyed on the cold journey; Petitions to the Home Secretary are spoken of in the dis trict, and so threatening is the attitude of the village that oh Saturday evening po lice were again dispatched from Oxford." The severity of the sentence imposed on these women will surprise the American mind, where the relationship of the vari ous classes in English life is but little un derstood. The English laborer is held to be but little removed from the brute, and his treatment in many cases is not equal to that accorded some stable animals, These imprisoned women committed no act of violence, and it was in the power of the magistrates to release them upon their recognizance for future good behavior; but this would have been too charitable even for reverend magistrates, and the frac tured law could only be amended by a severe and summary punishment of thi imen. ; 1 . t It may be'that the permanency of En glish institutions may be secured by keeping np the strong line of demarcation be tween the classes, but wo are not of those who think so ; and every case like the one in point will but add to the flame of Republicanism, which is surely lighting up in that country, and which some day will burst out in a revolution recognizing the grand princple in government that all men are to be equal before the law. We do not wish to be understood in thi connection aa justifying strikes, for in nine cases out of every ten they are productive of mora harm than good to the working- men themselves, and for the most part re sult in nothing but evil. Our sav is of the English law dispensers and the cruel sentence imposed,and that too in a country long boasting of British fairness and ad vanced ideas of Christianity and civiliza tion. , The idea of imprisoning a woman at hard labor is repulsive under' almost any circumstance, but it became doubly so in the connection narrated above. P. S. Since the above waa written we have the London Times of later date. W find a letter thanking the Times for ita "powerful comments" on the action of the magistrates, and asserting that "the same thing haa been done twenty times before," by other magistrates. The writer gives a list of judicial outrages si the sort Which do not come tar from mahyur lynch law respectable. Seven of the women have been released and carried back In triumph, A subscription of 30 was raised for them, speeches were made, and there was a grand demonstration all along the road. . He Knows How II la Himself. " Our old friend, the ex-Postmaster of the Cleveland Herald, gives the Columbus Postmaster nuggets of good advice in the following. We have requested George William Curtis, in the interest of civil service reform,; tov. immediately place us in communication with Mrs.' Potiphar, who had some experience in the leg business, in connection with the selection of a footman. If she will grioiously give us the points, in connection with the Herald's suggestions, we may hope to succeed : The free delivery system is to be adopted at Columbus and ten carriers lire to be appointed. Postmaster Conily has adopted the competitive system and divided the applicant into ten.lasste of tan sppli-f canta to a class. ' Only one hundred ap, plicantB for the ten places thus far. The Postmaster specifies some of the requisites necessary, but he omits the main one legs. , A' letter carrier should have plenty of legs. - We would like to tee a trotting horse undertake to keep, up with two Cleveland carriers now in our eye. Those carriers cover at least six feet every step, and when they are in full headway their legs look like the spokes of sulky wheels in the race-course pictures. Stairs I Why, stairs are not in the way at all. The ordinary lift of six. or tight inolx-R to a tread is a mincing step! and so -these carriers take four, five, or six depending upon the hurry they are in at a stride. Legs, Postmaster-Comly, legs are the main thing; look at' their legs the first thing and the Inst thing. Reading and writing and arithmetic come by practice, but legs come by "natur" or come not nt all. We Jnight advise our friend "which is Postmaster" at Columbus to examine the tempers of the applicants, and to be sure and secure carriers who are patient and obliging, but after all, don t by any means forget legs, as legs are the requisites absolutely necessary.

The Farmers and Working-men's I'nuveiillon Toe Platform on which i hey Stand A Fall County Ticket Nominated "Victory Fore- known" Tlitown Overboard. Speoial to tho Ohio State Journal." Mansfield, O., June 23. The Farmers and Workingmen held an adjourned meeting to-dny, the first one not being considered an auspicious opening of the new political crusade. About sixty delegates were, present, mode up mostly of farmers- and. -workingujen,. with,-a (air sprinkling' of pbiroal bucks ,to manipulate the thing If -possible. Colonel R, C. Brown was made chairman, and W. S. McMillan Secretary. (t Arcouimiltee on Resolutions -was ap pointed, of which M. p. Barter waa chairman. The following is the report of the committee, which, after brief , discussion, was unanimously adopted : WbkBeas, That in the opinion of this; Convention both the political puriiei have proved signally unfaithful to the trust committed to their care, locally and in the Nation at large, and have given ub extravagance where they promised economy, and inefficiency where we should have had ability in the management of public affairs; therefore, : Heaolved, That in cutting loose from party affiliations we recommend the farmers and workingmen represented in Convention to-day to place before the people of the county men selected from our midst, who, while faithful representatives of the interests of laboring men, will at the same time bring to the administration of the offices for which they are nominated honesty and efficiency. Resolved, That we will use every fair and honorable means to secure the election of the ticket which may be placed in nomination to-day, and while urging this cause upon all people in the country who desire honesty and fair dealing in the management of the affairs of the country, we do not seek to bend any one to the support of any special political doctrines, aiming solely lo bring about substantial reform within our own county. National and State matters were left for the State Convention to pass upon. The following ticket was placed in nomination: Representative, K. C. Brown, Republican ; Sheriff) Harrison Mickey, Liberal Republican ; Clerk of Court, W. S. McMillen, Liberal Republican ; Auditor, John Booth, Democrat ; Infirmary Director, Lowry Sibbert, Democrat; Commissioner, Peter Snapp, Deiuocrn', on the nominated Democratic ticket,, Treasurer, R. II. Rowland, Republican. There was apparently a majority of Republicans in the Convention, and it was noticeable that of the Democrats present, there were none of prominence in the party, lieneral Unnkerholl flitted around both behind and in front of the scenes, but failed to bring forward his peculiar hobbies, which were so badly treated at the former Convention.. The ticket, with two or three exceptions, is a very respectable one. It is pretty evident, however, that Democrats here take, very little stock in the new departure inaugurated by the Allen county Democracy, and that such support as the tfeket will get must come principally from the Republican party.

One of the grandest naval displays ever beheld in British waters was made to-day in honor of the Shah of Persia at Portsmouth. The town was ornamented with streamers and triumphant arches. The harbor was filled wjth shipping of all kinds, decorated with the flags of nil nations! and the shores on both sides were covered with masses of spectators, thousands of whom came from London. The fleet drawn up at Spithead consisted of foitjfour vessels, the finest and largest in the British navy, compris ing the channel squadron, with numerous additions, and nearly all of the great iron clads. The Shah arrived at Portsmouth at noon, iiis Majesty was received with beers by the immense assembly in and around the depot. The royal yacht Victoria and Albert was waiting, and the Shah immediately embarked, accompa nied by the rrince ot Wales, Frince Alfred, and the Czarewitch. The yacht steamed slowly out of the harbor, and on arriving in front of the fleet was greeted with salutes from the iron-clnds. The Shah took a conspicuous place on the yacht, surrounded by the princes, and proceeded to inspect the Beet, passing up and down in front of 'and between the lines. The yards were manned and salutes fired as the royal va"lit passed. After the inspection waa compl- ted the Victoria and Albert Bteamed to the front again, and the review terminated with a grand salute fired simultaneously by all tho vessels of the fleet. The roval party then returned to Ports mouth, where a banquet and other festivities were in progress. The Shah, in conversation with General Schenck, the American.. Minister, last week, regretted that the distance and want of time prevented him from visiting the United States, a country he had heard much of, and desired that his compliments should, be Bent to President Grant, ADVICE, FOR SPAIN.

A collision occurred last evening on the Atlantic and l'acilic railroad, between two picnic trains. one containing the Bricklayers' Union, numbering about two thousand, the other the brotherhood ol Locomotive liiicineers, numbering abont one thousand.

A doz en others received more or less severe braises and sprains. 1 lie cause ot the accident was the neg lect of the brakeman to flag the rear train in time to stop it, and the supposition ol the engineer of the moving train that the track was clear.

After the blows were given, fire was kindled in many places in and upon the bed and crib in which the little boy was sleeping, and that the door leading to the room was Hosed. The jurors further any that the blows were mulcted by Jonn true uor-ion with mnlice aforethought, and thai i lie fire was kindled and the door shut by him for the purpose of causing tbe bodies of his victims to be consumed and de- iiroved.

For six months, since last December, the days have been gradually lengthening, and for six months, until next De cember, they will gradually shorten. Saturday marked the Bummer solstice, the time when the sun is the furthest north, having reached the Tropic of Cancer, "and summer really began in the northern hemisphere. Saturday was the centre of the "long day" north of the Arctic circle, and the "long night" in Antarctic (or south polar) regions, where winter is now at its height. Between sunrise and sunset, here, about fifteen hours intervene. The long twilight, morning and evening, make the day much longer than this, so that the limits of 4.32 a. m. for sunrise and 7.31 p. m. for sunset, do not mark, by any means, the actual limits of the day. the real length of the period of daylight being about seventeen hours in this lati tude, nearly threefourths of the twenty- four. .

To the Editor of the Ohio State Journal: A short time ago, some of your correspondents were calling attention, with some vehemence, to the want of stench traps in sewers, the deposits of garbage and the filthy condition of the streets and allevs of the city generally, aa causes of ill "health; but there is one polluter of Heaven's pure air. wnicn as a cause ot ill health certainly stands in the foreground, which has not been mentioned, and which seems to be strangely overlooked generally in newspaper discussions on that subject. I mean slaughter houses; and upon this subject I wish to make a few remarks and a suggestion or two, for the consideration of our citizens, and especially of the City Conncil. 1st The Injurious effect of slaughter honses, as cney are wm trpt in Voinraous, will scarcely be denied, ana would oe certified to bv everv physician In the citv. 9A. Thev exist in lam numbers in various parts of the city, and with oar rapidly increasing population, ineir number must increase, and population most become more dense around them. These places, which have heretofore heen in the raharbs, will anon Snd themselves in the heart of the city, surrounded by large numbers or people. 3d. What can be dose with them? This ib a practical question, and perhaps one of a good deal of difficulty, though nearly every man you meet would give you an answer at once, if you should ask him, and think perhaps (hat he had hit the nail on the head. Butchering la aa legitimate a business as the practice of surgery, and can't be ordered out of town unless it is carried on in auch a way that it Inflicts an injury upon others. This is what lawyers say, and it seems to be plain common sense. The practical diffienltv. therefore, of removing them can at once be seen. ' But the city can undoubtedly regulate them. It can require that they shall be so conducted at to have no offensive smell. Cannot the city, then, prescribe the manner in which slaughter houses should be built and conducted ? May it not assume that, without such and such preparations, they mt, or at least invariably will, become nuisances? The city certainly has the power to require that powder, if kept within city limits, shall be kept in a certain kind of a building and be surrounded by certain circumstances. Yet imwder is perfectly harmless unless it should explode. But the city lias the power to guard against explosion, and to jud,e of the means necessary to accomplish it. Con it not, therefore, do the same thing with slaughter houses? And here conies my suggestion : Let the City Council ordain that every building where butchering is done shall com ma-nicate with a public sewcr.and also that it shall have proper means of thoroughly . ' washing it out; and that ilshall be com-pletely cleansed in ei cose after butchering is done; and let there be an inspection by the police of every slaughter house in the city at least once a week. Perhaps it would be well to add to this that any yard connected with them shall be surrounded with a high wall. This it seems to me would be a practl- ' cal meeting of the difficulty, and one that would do for all time and lor all parts of the city. A slaughter bouse could then be kept on High street, for it would be perfectly inoffensive and as. ; . i New Wura Uveatuck.

The Cincinnati Gazette complains bitterly that all the wicked people take the Commercial. None but the truly good take the Gazette, and that brings its subscription list down to a fine apex. The heathen of the Commercial don't seem to care how many wicked people take that paper. It must pain the pious heart of the good man of the Gazette to observe how many wicked people there are this year, and how few of the good. We are plunged in a gulf of dark despair by the discovery that the Ohio State Journal (which may be set down as Middle Left and Kight Center) has a larger circulation in email towns a hundred miles away than the Gazette has in Columbus. This, after all our labors on behalf of the Gazette and its editor, is extremely discoursing, i ' -; There is an amusing story of a gentleman trying to write a personal letter to a friend, under the annoyance of having a man read it over his shoulder. Finally ha wrote "I would say more, but there is an Impertinent fellow looking over my shoulder, reading every word I write." "It is lie, sir. I haven't seen a word 1" retorted that person, furiously. We are reminded of this little story by a thing that happened to the Commercial. It stated that a certain local politician "read the Commercial, but did not take it," and up jumps this innocent party with the as sertion that "he takes it, bat does not read it" which is plain aa the nose on one's face. The gentlemen might have claimed for himself that he is at least one thing the Commercial is never likely to be underita present management and that is, "Little Bed." Leave ! Ream.

BRITISH BLEMISHES. One of the proudest boasts of an En glishman is that he is a Briton. Thia is perhaps well enough, but England is oc casionally responsible for acts committed by men in authority which turn the proud boast into a blazon of shame. We need not go back to the blowing of Sepoys from the mouths of British cannon an act which for barbarity and savngery is without an equal, and which left a stain that will not fade so long as history endures,..,! Another blemish has recently tainted the British name, and this reproach, like that of the Sepoy savagery, is brought up on it by the constituted authorities. To add to the enormity of the reproach, the authorities In 'question are two clergymen of the Church of England, acting as magistrates, and the victims pi their cruelty are women, During the existence of a strike of farm laborers employed on the farm of Mr. Hambridge of Ascot, two non-Union men were engaged to take the places of two of the disaffected. This aroused the wives and daughters of the striking men, and they gathered together to the number of sixteen, and taking a position near a gate, through which the two men were compell ed to pass in entering the field of Mr. Hambridge, they jeered at the men and used insulting language, but oBered no physical violence. The Times says : "Not blow was struck, and, though very abusive and . threatening' language,' rWns used, the. fright; and perfl which few girls and middle-aged women had occas ioned to the two. stalwart laborers could not have been very serious, seeing that, according to the evidence of the. men themselves, the women actually offered to escort them back to the village and give them 'a drink,' and that, while declining the protection and hospitality of the Amazons who had so terrilied, them, they walked to Mr. Hanibridge's homestead unguarded and unhurt, and subsequently went to -work on the farm under the pow erful protection of one police constable." The proceedings of these women were unquestionably wrong, but the means resorted to as a punishment were a much greater wrong. The women and girls were at once arrested and taken before .' the Chipping Norton Bench of magistrates, consisting of Rev. Thomas Harris and Rev. W. E D. Carter, and after ' a hearing and "a lengthy consultation" the reverend magistrates' ordered seven of the demonstrative women to be imprisoned for ten days, and the remaining nine to be imprisoned for seven d tys, with the addition of hard labor in every case. Two of the women bad infants at the breast while being conveyed on iheir journey to prison. , ;- It ib not a subject of wonder that this action caused considerable excitement. Thu infants of the female prisoners were ostentatiously fed on the village green, in presence of the whole population, and at night rioters assembled in considerable force and made an onslaught on the prison. The windows and the doors were broken, and some of the tiles were stripped from the roof. The attack was repelled, but the Superintendent thought it advisable to telegraph for assistance to Oxford, nineteen miles distant from Chipping Norton. The Times says : "On receipt of his telegram, Inspector i Yates, with a force of police, started In a drag and four, and at Woodstock took np Su perintendent Bowen. . So riotous was the aspect of Chipping Norton that it wan not deemed safe to keep the women there till the time at which the first train leaves; and in the small hours they Were driven in the break the whole distance to Ox ford, where, at about 6 o'clock they were locked up in the County Gaol. ' Two of the unfortunate prisoners had their in fants at the breast while being conveyed on the cold journey; Petitions to the Home Secretary are spoken of in the dis trict, and so threatening is the attitude of the village that oh Saturday evening po lice were again dispatched from Oxford." The severity of the sentence imposed on these women will surprise the American mind, where the relationship of the vari ous classes in English life is but little un derstood. The English laborer is held to be but little removed from the brute, and his treatment in many cases is not equal to that accorded some stable animals, These imprisoned women committed no act of violence, and it was in the power of the magistrates to release them upon their recognizance for future good behavior; but this would have been too charitable even for reverend magistrates, and the frac tured law could only be amended by a severe and summary punishment of thi imen. ; 1 . t It may be'that the permanency of En glish institutions may be secured by keeping np the strong line of demarcation be tween the classes, but wo are not of those who think so ; and every case like the one in point will but add to the flame of Republicanism, which is surely lighting up in that country, and which some day will burst out in a revolution recognizing the grand princple in government that all men are to be equal before the law. We do not wish to be understood in thi connection aa justifying strikes, for in nine cases out of every ten they are productive of mora harm than good to the working- men themselves, and for the most part re sult in nothing but evil. Our sav is of the English law dispensers and the cruel sentence imposed,and that too in a country long boasting of British fairness and ad vanced ideas of Christianity and civiliza tion. , The idea of imprisoning a woman at hard labor is repulsive under' almost any circumstance, but it became doubly so in the connection narrated above. P. S. Since the above waa written we have the London Times of later date. W find a letter thanking the Times for ita "powerful comments" on the action of the magistrates, and asserting that "the same thing haa been done twenty times before," by other magistrates. The writer gives a list of judicial outrages si the sort Which do not come tar from mahyur lynch law respectable. Seven of the women have been released and carried back In triumph, A subscription of 30 was raised for them, speeches were made, and there was a grand demonstration all along the road. . He Knows How II la Himself. " Our old friend, the ex-Postmaster of the Cleveland Herald, gives the Columbus Postmaster nuggets of good advice in the following. We have requested George William Curtis, in the interest of civil service reform,; tov. immediately place us in communication with Mrs.' Potiphar, who had some experience in the leg business, in connection with the selection of a footman. If she will grioiously give us the points, in connection with the Herald's suggestions, we may hope to succeed : The free delivery system is to be adopted at Columbus and ten carriers lire to be appointed. Postmaster Conily has adopted the competitive system and divided the applicant into ten.lasste of tan sppli-f canta to a class. ' Only one hundred ap, plicantB for the ten places thus far. The Postmaster specifies some of the requisites necessary, but he omits the main one legs. , A' letter carrier should have plenty of legs. - We would like to tee a trotting horse undertake to keep, up with two Cleveland carriers now in our eye. Those carriers cover at least six feet every step, and when they are in full headway their legs look like the spokes of sulky wheels in the race-course pictures. Stairs I Why, stairs are not in the way at all. The ordinary lift of six. or tight inolx-R to a tread is a mincing step! and so -these carriers take four, five, or six depending upon the hurry they are in at a stride. Legs, Postmaster-Comly, legs are the main thing; look at' their legs the first thing and the Inst thing. Reading and writing and arithmetic come by practice, but legs come by "natur" or come not nt all. We Jnight advise our friend "which is Postmaster" at Columbus to examine the tempers of the applicants, and to be sure and secure carriers who are patient and obliging, but after all, don t by any means forget legs, as legs are the requisites absolutely necessary.

The Farmers and Working-men's I'nuveiillon Toe Platform on which i hey Stand A Fall County Ticket Nominated "Victory Fore- known" Tlitown Overboard. Speoial to tho Ohio State Journal." Mansfield, O., June 23. The Farmers and Workingmen held an adjourned meeting to-dny, the first one not being considered an auspicious opening of the new political crusade. About sixty delegates were, present, mode up mostly of farmers- and. -workingujen,. with,-a (air sprinkling' of pbiroal bucks ,to manipulate the thing If -possible. Colonel R, C. Brown was made chairman, and W. S. McMillan Secretary. (t Arcouimiltee on Resolutions -was ap pointed, of which M. p. Barter waa chairman. The following is the report of the committee, which, after brief , discussion, was unanimously adopted : WbkBeas, That in the opinion of this; Convention both the political puriiei have proved signally unfaithful to the trust committed to their care, locally and in the Nation at large, and have given ub extravagance where they promised economy, and inefficiency where we should have had ability in the management of public affairs; therefore, : Heaolved, That in cutting loose from party affiliations we recommend the farmers and workingmen represented in Convention to-day to place before the people of the county men selected from our midst, who, while faithful representatives of the interests of laboring men, will at the same time bring to the administration of the offices for which they are nominated honesty and efficiency. Resolved, That we will use every fair and honorable means to secure the election of the ticket which may be placed in nomination to-day, and while urging this cause upon all people in the country who desire honesty and fair dealing in the management of the affairs of the country, we do not seek to bend any one to the support of any special political doctrines, aiming solely lo bring about substantial reform within our own county. National and State matters were left for the State Convention to pass upon. The following ticket was placed in nomination: Representative, K. C. Brown, Republican ; Sheriff) Harrison Mickey, Liberal Republican ; Clerk of Court, W. S. McMillen, Liberal Republican ; Auditor, John Booth, Democrat ; Infirmary Director, Lowry Sibbert, Democrat; Commissioner, Peter Snapp, Deiuocrn', on the nominated Democratic ticket,, Treasurer, R. II. Rowland, Republican. There was apparently a majority of Republicans in the Convention, and it was noticeable that of the Democrats present, there were none of prominence in the party, lieneral Unnkerholl flitted around both behind and in front of the scenes, but failed to bring forward his peculiar hobbies, which were so badly treated at the former Convention.. The ticket, with two or three exceptions, is a very respectable one. It is pretty evident, however, that Democrats here take, very little stock in the new departure inaugurated by the Allen county Democracy, and that such support as the tfeket will get must come principally from the Republican party.

The yacht steamed slowly out of the harbor, and on arriving in front of the fleet was greeted with salutes from the iron-clnds. The Shah took a conspicuous place on the yacht, surrounded by the princes, and proceeded to inspect the Beet, passing up and down in front of 'and between the lines. The yards were manned and salutes fired as the royal va"lit passed. After the inspection waa compl- ted the Victoria and Albert Bteamed to the front again, and the review terminated with a grand salute fired simultaneously by all tho vessels of the fleet. The roval party then returned to Ports mouth, where a banquet and other festivities were in progress. The Shah, in conversation with General Schenck, the American..

For six months, since last December, the days have been gradually lengthening, and for six months, until next De cember, they will gradually shorten. Saturday marked the Bummer solstice, the time when the sun is the furthest north, having reached the Tropic of Cancer, "and summer really began in the northern hemisphere. Saturday was the centre of the "long day" north of the Arctic circle, and the "long night" in Antarctic (or south polar) regions, where winter is now at its height. Between sunrise and sunset, here, about fifteen hours intervene. The long twilight, morning and evening, make the day much longer than this, so that the limits of 4.32 a. m. for sunrise and 7.31 p. m. for sunset, do not mark, by any means, the actual limits of the day. the real length of the period of daylight being about seventeen hours in this lati tude, nearly threefourths of the twenty- four. .

To the Editor of the Ohio State Journal: A short time ago, some of your correspondents were calling attention, with some vehemence, to the want of stench traps in sewers, the deposits of garbage and the filthy condition of the streets and allevs of the city generally, aa causes of ill "health; but there is one polluter of Heaven's pure air. wnicn as a cause ot ill health certainly stands in the foreground, which has not been mentioned, and which seems to be strangely overlooked generally in newspaper discussions on that subject. I mean slaughter houses; and upon this subject I wish to make a few remarks and a suggestion or two, for the consideration of our citizens, and especially of the City Conncil. 1st The Injurious effect of slaughter honses, as cney are wm trpt in Voinraous, will scarcely be denied, ana would oe certified to bv everv physician In the citv. 9A. Thev exist in lam numbers in various parts of the city, and with oar rapidly increasing population, ineir number must increase, and population most become more dense around them. These places, which have heretofore heen in the raharbs, will anon Snd themselves in the heart of the city, surrounded by large numbers or people. 3d. What can be dose with them? This ib a practical question, and perhaps one of a good deal of difficulty, though nearly every man you meet would give you an answer at once, if you should ask him, and think perhaps (hat he had hit the nail on the head. Butchering la aa legitimate a business as the practice of surgery, and can't be ordered out of town unless it is carried on in auch a way that it Inflicts an injury upon others. This is what lawyers say, and it seems to be plain common sense. The practical diffienltv. therefore, of removing them can at once be seen. ' But the city can undoubtedly regulate them. It can require that they shall be so conducted at to have no offensive smell. Cannot the city, then, prescribe the manner in which slaughter houses should be built and conducted ? May it not assume that, without such and such preparations, they mt, or at least invariably will, become nuisances? The city certainly has the power to require that powder, if kept within city limits, shall be kept in a certain kind of a building and be surrounded by certain circumstances. Yet imwder is perfectly harmless unless it should explode. But the city lias the power to guard against explosion, and to jud,e of the means necessary to accomplish it. Con it not, therefore, do the same thing with slaughter houses? And here conies my suggestion : Let the City Council ordain that every building where butchering is done shall com ma-nicate with a public sewcr.and also that it shall have proper means of thoroughly . ' washing it out; and that ilshall be com-pletely cleansed in ei cose after butchering is done; and let there be an inspection by the police of every slaughter house in the city at least once a week. Perhaps it would be well to add to this that any yard connected with them shall be surrounded with a high wall. This it seems to me would be a practl- ' cal meeting of the difficulty, and one that would do for all time and lor all parts of the city. A slaughter bouse could then be kept on High street, for it would be perfectly inoffensive and as. ; . i New Wura Uveatuck.
